Looks quite interesting. Would be nice to know how well it integrates
with, say, CUPS. Its design appears to be more location-agnostic --
you can have a network of printers and your task gets printed on the
first available printer.

I'd say package it. It might not end up being installed by default,
but it should be made available for those who want it.
